Been a while since I've seen one, but I think it should fit nicely.
I would be taking some photos & measurements before buying a front cut though :)

I know the 3 cylinder one litre fits neatly , don't know how much the extra cylinder adds to the length though . Go for a scrounge through a wreckers or used car yard with a tape measure , if it's only a slight difference then maybe , if it's a big difference then have another think about it . The 3 cylinder motor is quite a good motor and was available as a turbo twin cam as well , not really to be ignored .

the 1.3 motor will fit in a round nose i measured one up years ago when i did a N/A 4efe conversion i chose the 4efe over the daihatsu because it was a twin cam
:oops: yes I was young and thought everything had to be a twin cam to be good

The 4efe would be a good conversion. I'm driving my sister's starlet at the moment. It goes great. Would go even better in a mini!
